Does that do collapsible tree structures of tabs? Does that allow me to bookmark a whole tree and reload it later? Can that auto hide and auto reveal? Or is it a shitter half copy of tree style tabs that will never actually be released because it would "confuse normal users". I'm not a normal user I don't want a crippled product. Normal users use Edge, Safari, IE or Chrome anyway. They won't use Firefox because it doesn't come pre-installed or get advertised on google.com. There is no point in Firefox chasing normal users. They need to chase power users and importantly web-developers.

No, it won't do trees: https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter/issues/498 https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter/issues/498 But I found this: https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter/issues/868 https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter/issues/868 "I've been talking with the people implementing WebExtensions for a while now, and they are committed to adding the APIs necessary to support something like TabCenter (or TreeStyle Tabs, or any of the other side-tabs add-ons). I don't know their final timeline, but I would be very surprised if the new APIs weren't available before we turned off old-style extensions, and I have already started working on a new branch that implements TabCenter as a WebExtension." So TreeStyle Tabs can be ported to the new system or an equivalent addon can be built. I personally use TreeStyle Tabs. I have not tried this Tab Center thing and did not know about the tech behind it.

  anything "can" be ported once mozilla creates a API, even TreeStyle The point is there is no API to do it today, and unlike the dev I do not believe the new API;s will be in 57, I see no evidence to support such a claim. Further if you continue to read on the issue, you see the developer has clearly said this is an expermint that will never be mainlined and development will likely stop "Having said all that, it's likely that at some point in the future, TabCenter will no longer be developed, and at that point, we'll recommend people switch to one of the other side-tabs add-ons." he continues "TabCenter isn't something that will live forever." So no TabCenter is not a replacement for TreeStyle, and never will be
